Miami Heat's Shane Battier shaving his mustache

MIAMI — The Shane Battier mustache that created so much attention Thursday on the Internet is no more. After Friday’s practice, Battier said he was going to shave it off once he arrived home.

The reason?

The Miami Heat forward's two-year-old daughter Eloise.

Batter told a story of her turning away as he tried to kiss her.

"I went down to kiss her and she shied away," said Battier. "When Queen Eloise speaks, Queen Eloise gets what she wants, and she wants a clean-shaven daddy. So the mustache is going bye bye."

It was fun while it lasted.

The mustache was a trending topic on Twitter throughout Thursday, causing fans to compare it to other celebrities with facial hair. Among the comparisons were former Dolphins coach Dave Wannstedt and actor Tom Selleck.
